Tell me how do we reconcile this with whats going on now?

"When Washington D.C. became the national capital in 1800, Congress voted that the Capitol building would also serve as a church building. President Thomas Jefferson, chose to attend church each Sunday at the Capitol and even provided the services with paid government musicians to assist in its worship."
James Hudson, Chief of the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress:Religion and the Founding of the American Republic(Washington D.C.:Library of Congress, 1998)p.84

Jefferson, the person who wrote the phrase "wall of separation", how could this be? Perhaps we don't have a full understanding of what his position.
Strange this is certainly not taught in American History today.Why is that?
